Legless in Lockdown - 2020
For UK Diabetes week, and with a lack of live comedy opportunities during lockdown, Colin produced and hosted an online 24 hour comedy show in order to raise money for Diabetes UK. Many comedians and performers joined Colin throughout the stream, including Rosie Jones, Adele Cliff, Paul F Taylor, Katy Secombe, Abandoman, Pippa Evans, Rob Thomas and Sean Hegarty. During the 24 hours, over £1250 was raised for the charity.

Parallels of Punderment - 2018
Inspired by one of his favourite childhood films, Back to the Future, Colin wrote Parallels of Punderment as a way to experiment how parallel alternative versions of himself may tackle his jokes in different ways.
Within the show, Colin challenged himself to play two other characters alongside his original self, Charlie Duplo (a bitter aging comic lost in the world of modern stand up) and Crispin Fisher-Price (a young posh newbie to stand up, trying comedy off the back of his exhausting gap year traveling the world).
Parallels of Punderment played to sold out rooms at both the Camden Fringe and the Leicester Comedy Festival, being dubbed as one of the 'Top 5 one liner shows' to see by the Leicester Mercury.

Bits of Leggo - 2016
A fan of all things Cornish, Colin wrote his one man show, Bits of Leggo, to look at the oddities and eccentricities that make up the people and places in his native homeland.
After a short run at The Falmouth Arts Centre (The Poly), Bits of Leggo went on to tour halls and theatres around Cornwall, gaining popularity through Colin's quirky observations and tongue and cheek parodies.
On the back of it's success, Colin went on to be nominated for Best Comedian in the 'What's On Cornwall' Awards, attending the award ceremony at the world famous Eden Project.
Now with a strong Cornish Following, Colin was invited to perform at the legendary Kernow in the City, the annual Cornish Celebration in London for all pasty and scrumpy loving ex pats.
Leggoland - 2015
In May 2014, after a decade of problems with his right leg, Colin took the decision to become a below knee amputee. Having what was considered a 'healthy foot' on paper, Colin had to talk a team of doctors and surgeons around to the idea of going through with the operation, knowing that removing the limb could lead to him having a pain free life.
A year later in 2015, Colin had written his award winning comedy show, Leggoland, all about his life changing journey. The show went on to receive 5 star reviews at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival, as well as an invite for Colin to perform Leggoland at the International Surgeon's Symposium in The Hague the following year. Colin also became the first 'patient voice' at the 2017 International Diabetic Foot Conference.
